ABOUT THE HIKE
In May 2022 I hiked 65-km on the South Loch Ness Trail in the highlands along the majestic Loch in Scotland. Trails were easy, but extremely quite.
I started my hike in Fort Augustus, where I hiked up to Loch Tarff, then down crossing the B862 where I found a quiet camping spot in an old forest along the creek. The second day I followed the route towards Whitebridge and Foyers. The section from Foyers to Inverfarigaig is a beautiful wild trail through the forest, but with limited views of the Loch. From Inverfarigaig there is a long climb on the backside of the hills towards Fair Haired Lad's Pass, the true highlight of the trail with views of almost the entire length of the Loch. The section downhill from the pass towards the Loch shore is beautiful, with great views of the Loch, and thru forested sections. At reaching the Loch, I pitched my tent on the Loch's shore. The third day I followed the Loch banks to Dores, then continued the last section over the ridge (without views of the Loch) to the end of the trail just outside Inverness.

Lol I'm reading and watching you thru you'll be hearing of me) I think you got it all figured out boy
Just a short note to let you know that the videos you produce are some of the most exquisite productions on CZcams. They truly are spellbinding, and are the only videos, bar a small handful in this genre, that I have repeatedly watched. Please continue to do what you do, these are a gift to the world.
Truly agreed 💯%
Great film as always. Glad to see Nessie made an appearance at 9:21 😄
HE DID?! :O
(';
was looking for this comment hahaha wondering how many caught it. Great vid!
So peaceful and beautiful. Another great video of your adventure, calming but adventurous at the same time. Makes me wanna go on a hiking trip to Scotland right now. Have a wonderful weekend Harmen.
Thank you Mario! Enjoy your weekend too!
@@HarmenHoek merci!
@@HarmenHoek Beautifully filmed and edited! Thanks. I'm from that area, you've done a great job. Love your tent, what make/ model is it please? Currently perusing options for bikepacking! Cheers 👍
Ok, I've seen most of your videos now and I felt pretty quickly that they are the best backpacking videos on CZcams. The images that you capture really seem to have deep purpose. This one in particular though is an extra special work of art, even for this channel. The framing of the shots and the creativity with angles is superb. This is the only channel that I am just as excited to analyze and enjoy the cinematography as I am about the hike itself. There are always several shots per video where I honestly can't figure out how you filmed them! Your choices of location are very cool too. You seem to stay off the beaten path and don't hike the same things that everyone seems to be doing. I really enjoy your videos, they are fantastic. Enjoy your future hikes 👍
Thanks for the kind words! :) I always love hearing when people try to figure how I did certain shots. Happy to explain them if you're interested!
i love how he added the loch ness monster in the thumbnail too
perfect.
😏
Did you see it in the film too?
Amazing work! Thank you for showing the beauty of our planet.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wah, so quiet and tranquility

The best way to start the morning is to immerse myself in a Harmen Houk film!
Hahaha, thanks man
For in his hand are the depths of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
The sea is his, for he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.
I walked this route back in 1976. I camped along the way as 52 miles is too far in one day. Best to go in spring as you get wild 'blie' berries (Scottish Blue berries) and wild mushrooms. In 1977 I bought a bike and cycled the route which is much better. Though I recommend stopping for the night as that is part of the fun.
can’t stop the watching calming but powerful messages. Thanks and respecting!!
Psalms 95,4-5: The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his. The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands. // Very good verses and film!
Thanks!
Love the subtle shot of nessie's neck in the fog. That was a fantastic touch! Keep it up!
What a gift! Thank you, Harmen!
Thank you, Ivan!
Always Amazing Film.
Thank you!
Scotland is one of my favorite country, maybe the first one, loch Ness, loch Lomond, Ben Nevis, sky…… so many wonderful places……👌A piece of my heat stand there ……
There are your hiking videos then there’s everyone else’s. Next level as usual.
Salut Harmen! Awesome video! It 's not work ! it 's art...

I love every time I watch your videos is like watching a documentary/film, but not a typical CZcams video. The music and the views of Loch Ness are beautiful. Great work!
I enjoy watching your video. I can smell the nature’s perfume 😍

So well done. This is just perfect. I watched it twice within the same day and I'll watch it again. The way you orchestrated the pieces together is excellent. I look forward to seeing more of this. It took me to older times when I used to hike solo in Ireland.
